All I can say is WOW! To all who have participated in the recent events and who help to make Chrome and Chromium the best it could be, thank you! It's no wonder that I always come back to Chrome no matter what browser I have installed. BRAVO!

@Jason - I am not having the issue described. If you have any chrome flags enabled, try and disable them all and see if the problem re-occur. For me the 'Lifehacker' tab is taking 41.9 MB RAM (and counting...), the GPU Process 34.6 MB and Flash is taking 4.4 MB. 'Lifehacker' is taking 4K memory every 3 seconds. I don't know if this is a bug or not.

@Jason: This website works very good at me ”http://www.lifehacker.com” and I have others 12 tabs opened, the memory is pretty low, although I have only 900 MB of RAM and 128 MB memory of GPU, so there are no issues with Chrome... I think that issue is only in your PC! Best regards!

@Jason: I am running this latest version of Chrome on my both PCs, one with Vista and other with Windows 7 - 32 bits, and everything works perfectly so far, I have opened in Chrome hundreds of web-sites and all was all-right, no blocks, no high memory usage, all works well, so you should CHECK YOUR PC because the issue is more probably in your PC, not in Google Chrome! Regards!

Anjunabeats The problem is not in my notebook I have an STI 1412 with Windows 7 Intel dual - core and runs lisinho and has 3GB of RAM 32-bit system. Prior to these crashes occur not occur now, not just me that I am facing this problem of freezing does not happen in other browsers like Firefox, Opera, Safari and so on. It's a refresh problem of Chrome does.
